Overview: HF 813, A bill for an act relating to private pay per diem rates at nursing facilities, was introduced and referred to the Health and Human Services committee on March 6, 2025.
Purpose and Intent: The bill aims to address the issue of private pay rates at nursing facilities, which can sometimes be significantly higher than the rates paid by Medicaid or other public programs.
Key Provisions:
- Requires nursing facilities to establish private pay per diem rates that are no more than 125% of the facility's Medicaid per diem rate
- Provides an exception for facilities that can demonstrate higher costs due to specialized services or patient acuity
Affected Parties and Impacts: The bill would primarily affect private-pay residents of nursing facilities, who may see a reduction in the rates they are charged. Nursing facilities would also be impacted, as they would need to adjust their private pay rates to comply with the new requirements.
Procedural and Timeline Considerations: The bill has been introduced and referred to the Health and Human Services committee. It will now go through the committee process and potentially move forward for further legislative consideration.
